Abstract
Propagation properties of electromagnetic (EM)
waves in the dense medium of neutron star are studied. It is
observed that EM waves develop a longitudinal component when
they propagate in such a dense medium. Renormalization scheme
of quantum electrodynamics (QED) is used to investigate the
behavior of EM waves in transverse and longitudinal directions.
Medium response to EM waves indicates that the electromagnetic
properties of the dense material are modified as a result of the
interaction of EM waves with the matter. Using QED, expressions
for the electromagnetic properties such as electric permittivity,
magnetic permeability and the refractive index of dense matter are
obtained. The results are applied to a neutron star for illustration.
